Abstract

Danmaku is a video comment feature which is used to overlay comments onto videos of many types and is gaining popularity in China. In this paper, we explore Danmaku's potential in online video learning. We present our survey results of 213 Chinese online users regarding their usage of danmaku. We also propose a new design in which danmaku is modified and leveraged to better facilitate user engagement and interaction in an online learning environment. Our results show that participants perceived both designs to have many benefits in terms of social presence and cognitive presence. Most of the participants post danmaku themselves instead of simply watching others' danmaku. In addition, about 40% of the participants who did not prefer the original design showed more positive feedback in the new design.
